Try this:
<CFSet variables.extracted =REMatch("(?<="")[^""]+(?="")" , """The randhawa"" <myselfrandhawa@yahoo.com>")>
<CFDump var= "#variables.extracted#" label ="Email Address">

Lookbehind is not supported in CF.
You may get by with the following, but it will fail if you have any text with a quote before it. For example, the following:
"This is awesome!!"; "The randhawa" <myselfrandhawa@yahoo.com>
would return
This is awesome!!

<CFSet variables.extracted=REMatch("[^""]+(?="")", """The randhawa"" <myselfrandhawa@yahoo.com>") />
<CFDump var=#variables.extracted# label="Email Address" />

I'm always disappointed whenever I find a new language/editor that doesn't fully support lookaround :)

Maybe two regex operations would be better:
<CFSet variables.extracted=REMatch("""[^""]+", """The randhawa"" <myselfrandhawa@yahoo.com>") />
<CFSet variables.extracted=REReplace(variables.extracted[1],"""","") />
<CFDump var=#variables.extracted# label="Email Address" />

Yeah, that's one failing in the basic regex functionality. But you could easily use the underlying java, which IIRC does support it ;-)

I haven't gotten quite that far in my CF experiments yet, but true nonetheless : )

Since it all compiles to java anyways, why is there such a difference between the CF regex and the Java?

Backward compatibility maybe? (CF wasn't always java based). But that's a total guess ;-)
